In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Price €45,000 for 100 m²; I estimate modest works at €200/m² (€20,000) so effective cost ≈ €65,000 or ~€650/m², well above the regional median of €408/m², so it's overpriced despite being habitable with garage and garden.
More on the house and the area
A solid, lived‑in 1969 townhouse with a large, bright living/dining room, functional bathroom and a small private garden plus garage. It’s immediately habitable and excellent value for 100 m², but mostly a practical family home rather than a photogenic dream — it needs cosmetic modernisation and energy upgrades.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€7,000 – €11,000
Wiring, water and sanitary work of any kind, heating, air conditioning and gas go to a registered firm by law, and so do flues and the air openings for gas appliances. That labour stays in the bill. Yours is the stripping out, plaster, paint, floors, tiling and carpentry.
Labour is 61% of a renovation price on average and 67% at the median, across 191 items of the Emilia-Romagna 2025 public price list. Materials are the rest. An averaged price list, not a quote.
Materials you buy yourself carry 22% VAT; supplied by the firm doing the work they go at the 10% renovation rate. On a €30,000 materials bill that is €3,600 of extra tax.
Household wiring installed before 13 March 1990 counts as compliant if it has a main breaker with overcurrent protection, protection against direct contact and a 30 mA RCD. Having a firm bring the existing wiring up to that and certify it is the cheapest lawful route.
- Dated 1960s finishes — cosmetic updating and kitchen/bath refresh likely needed
- Single bathroom for a 2‑bed/100 m² house
- Energy class G — expect higher heating costs and possible window/insulation upgrades
- Staircase internal layout (not ground‑floor only) — check mobility/access needs
Estimate from the listing and its photos, not a survey. Treat it as the starting point for your own quotes. An Italian builder's quote is normally written without VAT and without design fees, so add about a quarter to any figure a firm gives you.
The area around
Location score 38/100This is flat rice-growing country on the Lomellina plain between the Sesia and Po river systems, with a landscape of fields, irrigation canals, farmsteads and small villages. Mortara is the nearest larger town in the area, with rail links and everyday services. Vigevano, with a substantial historic centre centred on Piazza Ducale and the Sforza Castle complex, is the nearest town of real size within easy reach but outside the immediate 15 km landscape. The area is known for rice cultivation and water-managed agriculture.
